Ice Bath

just got back from the pool. main set: 5,000 meters, no breaks, straight through, 100 laps of long course freestyle. lesson of the day: never do that set again, ever, ever, ever. an hour and 20 minutes of non-stop swimming with no one to race. i have a frat boy in his boardshorts on my left, an old woman and a skinny asian girl in a bikini on my right. i don't feel smooth until around lap 75 because of a pretty tough weight session at the gym last night. so it was basically my most painful experience of recent memory. i'm off to wrap my body in ice packs until i can't feel anything anymore.
